Pat Robertson has endorsed Rudy Giuliani. One old insane white guy likes another old insane white guy, two bony-assed lunatics united by a shared desire to blow shit up. Who the fuck cares.
Well, a lot of people care. That's the problem. A lot of people apparently give a shit what a total fucking dessicated horrible freak like Robertson thinks about anything. And a lot of people look at Giuliani and think "great! A shitheaded fascist! Just what we need!"
A serious question. Now, I know, Ron Paul is a nutcase.
But.
How on earth is Ron Paul any more of a dangerous maniac than Rudy Giuliani? How are his views any more extreme or kooky?
Give me a Gold Standard freak annnnnnny day of the week over a shallow martinet who despises civil liberties and buys into wingnutty "Islamofascist" bullshit.
Whose presidency would result in more corpses? Whose would result in more torture?
Don't get me wrong, I think Ron Paul's nuts.
He wouldn't get anywhere near Rudy's body count, though, were we to calculate the likely results of their hypothetical administrations.
BLUNTLY: Whose thumb do you want on the nuclear trigger? Rudy Giuliani's? Or Ron Paul's?
I am a liberal leftist, I make no apologies. And I think Ron Paul is bananas in a lot of ways.
But: Give him the nukes over Rudy. Please. It's not even close.
Wonderful public discourse we have, no?
